LexieCat Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Hi, Tammy, and welcome. I'm sorry about your husband's illness. We have at least a few people here who have had Pancoast tumors. I haven't heard anyone mention Horner's syndrome, but I know nerve pain is pretty common with that. What treatment is he receiving right now? Has the tumor been tested for biomarkers? Glad you found us--this is a great place for information and support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna G Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Hello Tammy . I am one of those members here that has had a Pancoast Tumor. My tumor was in the apex of my right upper lobe. It was pressing on a nerve going down my right arm and also pressing on my chest wall. I had chest pain and pain down my right arm. I had no distant mets. I had to have chemo and radiation to shrink it before they would consider surgery. When I was able, because it shrunk, to have surgery the plan from the beginning was that I would have more chemo after surgery. I have survived 21 years now ! What chemo did he have ? I pray that he responds well to it. When is he due for a CT ? Please keep us posted. Donna G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
